I think Amiga warrants its own category because, as evidenced in the video, all powerups seem to work properly. In DOS version the ketchup bottle (the red one) is bugged and does nothing, while in the video (4:53 mark) it correctly removes enemies from the map for a short while. The invulnerability disc (0:34 mark) also does nothing on DOS.

I also compared Fast Food on DOSBox with 3000 cycles (quite low) with the video on the side and DOSBox is noticeably faster too.

Sure - have you got a run? I'd be happy to include it - I'd like to see how it looks to decide how to best arrange the leaderboards

Third time is the charm! :)

It pains me that I have to reject the run again, but it's not Prince of Persia 1.4 (you can tell e.g. by the fact that levels 3 and 7 are not green, etc). You can check which version you run by pressing CTRL+V when in-game.

Please follow this guide to ensure that you have the correct version (it contains links to PoP 1.4 as well as instructions about how to install it).

Also you can check this guide to see how to setup LiveSplit to track your in-game time automatically - it will track your time down to every frame, if you're using correct version of the game and DOSBox :)

Hello! Nice to see a new speedrunner here, please read the submission rules for details about how to run the game to be accepted :D

Here's a guide that shows how to setup the game to avoid rejections: https://www.speedrun.com/pop1/guides/r6nek :)

@Wogen have you checked whether the Sega Genesis codes spawn the same tracks (same layout) on DOS version?

@Wogen - yes, Sega Genesis version of Lotus III is named "Lotus II: RECS" - which is why it's here as a category in Lotus 3 :-)

Also: don't worry about the "real time". It's just there for informational purposes, which is why it's counted only with seconds precision. The actual time that matters for leaderboards is the in-game time (the race time you see in the game, at the end of the race).

@Styfauly:

Notice that all current runs have the time rounded to 10ms since that's the game's time resolution.

So if your time is e.g. 11:22.33, submit it as 11:22.330.

The rules ask for milliseconds so that people don't omit that "330" part altogether.

Also, PoP 1.4 is the newest version, with potential stability fixes etc.

Also, we have a script for LiveSplit timer which displays IGT time (which should be used if possible as it provides time with more accuracy). This script supports 1.4 version only (no version detection).

Also, guard hit/parry probabilities are different because of a bug in older versions: https://www.popot.org/documentation/documents/2015-08-06_PoP1_Guard_Types.pdf
